UBC ARC is committed to supporting researchers on Sockeye, its high-performance computing (HPC) platform, by providing access to a comprehensive collection of software. This includes widely used open-source tools as well as licensed commercial applications to meet a variety of research needs.
Software available on Sockeye spans a broad spectrum of disciplines, including artificial intelligence, chemistry, life sciences, mathematics, physics, and more. To explore the full list of available applications, researchers are encouraged to visit the Software Catalog.
Requesting Additional Software
For software not currently installed in Sockeye, researchers have two options:
- Submit a request using the Software Installation Request Form to have ARC staff manage the installation. All submissions are reviewed by ARC staff to assess the software’s suitability and compatibility. Please note that researchers are responsible for any required licensing or subscription fees.
